World's scariest runway: KLM Boeing 747 makes last landing at St Maarten airport video

Maho Beach might not be the Caribbean's most idyllic beach but it's not the white sand tourists turn up for. Located on St Maarten, the small beach is popular among plane spotters and self-confessed aviation geeks for its extremely close proximity to one of the world's most scary runways. Runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport is so short, that pilots must make their final approach just 100 feet over the heads of sunbathers. Now, the KLM 747 landing, one of the most highly-anticipated, has come to an end. As of October 30, the flights will be operated by the smaller Airbus A330 instead. The Dutch carrier's Airbus A330 will now take passengers on the direct non-stop service between Amsterdam and St. Maarten.<br/>
